Choosing the Right 50th Birthday Invitations

• Decide whether you want silly or sophisticated invitations. This allows you to cut out an entire category immediately.
• Think about the wording on the invitations. Are you holding a surprise party or is the birthday boy or girl helping you address the envelopes? You can cut out another category with this simple decision.
• Consider buying personalized invitations. This option allows you to choose the wording you want and saves quite a bit of energy and time, since you won't have to fill in all those who, what, when and where lines on generic invitations.
• Think about the birthday honoree’s tastes. If he or she has a special color preference or hobby, you may want to look for invitations that reflect these things. In fact, if you don’t have a party theme picked out yet, those invitations that seem so perfect may just give you the inspiration for the whole party!
